It’s done! After years of sitting on the back burner, a virus came along and clipped my wings. With time on my hands, I brushed off the cobwebs and sat down to work on my e-book. I’ll Never Pee in the Woods Again! is undergoing final proofreading before it gets delivered to subscribers.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

It’s a book of travel misadventures – from canoeing the Missouri River in a epic storm, to hitchhiking with an accident-prone trucker in Australia to backpacking into Arizona’s Rainbow Bridge with a dog who swallows a canyon toad and more!

There are 10 short tales – all tall but true – of now-humorous adventures. Each story is followed by a brief resource box of relevant books and maps.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD

I first wrote about the idea of a travel adventure book 10 years ago. Yes, you read that correctly, 10 years ago! The problem is that we live and love to travel – whether flying or driving or canoeing or biking or hiking. It doesn’t save a lot of energy for writing. No excuse, I know, but I was also busy the past 10 years working on children’s, non-fiction book writing. Yup, close to 90 books can keep a person occupied in their spare time 😉

When Covid-19 entered our lives and brought us home early from travel adventures in Baja, Mexico, I needed something to keep my mind busy. I knew the time had come to get this e-book done, so I started reviewing a course I’d signed up for a while back called E-Book Bestseller Bootcamp. The course guided me through the process of writing and designing an e-book.

After an initial review launch, the book will be for sale on my website. And now that I’ve done one, I’m thinking about another. Yes, stayed tuned the next set of travel misadventures – fingers crossed it doesn’t take me another 10 years!
